BROADSTREET made it three wins in a row in Midlands One as they got the better of county rivals Kenilworth 16-8 in a tight derby at Glasshouse Lane.

Street, who gave a debut to former Coventry and Rugby Lions prop Richard Siveter, laid the foundation through their forwards and led 11-3 at half-time with Dan Richards kicking two penalties before scrum-half Jordan Simpson opened his account for the season with an unconverted try.

Centre Gary Challis won the race to a kick ahead by Richards to extend Street's lead before Spencer Brown claimed a try for Kenilworth five minutes from the end of normal time.

Hinckley were again indebted to captain and flanker Ben Ashield as his late try secured a 12-12 draw at Kettering.

Stratford left it too late at Burton and paid for their early defensive frailties in a 28-22 Midlands Two West defeat. The visitors trailed 23-7 at half-time, and late tries by Drew Pritchard, Rich Pepperell and Dave Supperstone as their backs cut loose weren't quite enough to repair the damage.

Market Bosworth got off the mark in Midlands Two East, edging through 30-29 at bottom side Wellingborough.

Old Laurentians extended their winning start in Midlands Three West (South) to four matches with a 27-6 victory at Spartans, and opened up a two-point gap at the top of the table as Old Coventrians suffered their first defeat.

Tries by skipper Carl Adams and winger Matt Miller saw OLs take a 20-6 lead into the second half and a Richard Parker try wrapped things up, Danny Orr converting all three as well as kicking two penalties.

OCs went down 17-10 at Newbold, who broke their duck after two defeats with tries from Joss Andrews and Alex Williams.

Prop Matt Greevy scored the only try of the game on the half hour as Barkers Butts made it three wins from three with a well-earned 13-0 success at Leamington.

Nuneaton Old Edwardians held off visitors Silhillians 23-18, Earlsdon drew 18-18 at Kidderminster, and Berkswell & Balsall picked up their first point of the campaign courtesy of a 10-10 share at Droitwich.

Dunlop are the only remaining side in Midlands Four West (South) with a 100 per cent record, but they needed a last-minute drop goal from James Reilly to secure a 26-24 home win over Pershore.

Tries from Tom O'Toole and Steve Adcock helped Dunlop into a 20-14 lead at half-time before Pershore clawed their way in front.

Southam suffered their first defeat of the season, going down 26-6 at home to Worcester Wanderers after leading twice through Roger Killick penalties with the wind behind them in the first half.

Bedworth continued their improving run with a 29-20 verdict at Shipton, but Old Leamingtonians went down to a second successive defeat, 28-15 at home to Ledbury.

Rugby St Andrews squeezed through 8-6 at Northampton Casuals to record their second win in Midlands Four East (South).

Manor Park scored 17 unanswered points in the first ten minutes, Dan Joyce contributing a try, penalty and two conversions, but they still needed a Cameron Forryan try in the second half to hold off a Keresley rally, 22-15, in Midlands Five West (South).

Coventry Welsh overwhelmed Coventrians outside the forward exchanges in the second half to rattle up a 55-7 home victory, while Harbury climbed into second place in the table with a 23-7 home win over Copsewood.

Pinley went down 22-0 at unbeaten leaders Worcester Students, and Stoke Old Boys were edged out 17-10 at Redditch.

Wingers Paul Ellis and Duncan Murphy were both on the try sheet for Trinity Guild, who overcame city rivals Old Wheatleyans 24-8 at Rowley Road in Midlands Six West (South East).
